With rumors circulating that Conan O’Brien will pen a deal with FOX as part of the next step in his career, Conan’s manager has confirmed that the former Tonight Show host and ginger comedian has not signed to any network just yet.

“He is not even close [to signing a new contract],” Gavin Polone, Conan’s manager, told FOX 411. “I don’t know where that’s all coming from. We’ve met with a few places and been in talks, but nothing is even near being finalized.”
